NFR Round 8 Results & Winners
Congratulations to the Round Winners for the eighth night of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo!
Bareback Riding: Leighton Berry
Leighton Berry was on fire last night and scored an 88 point ride for the round win. This put him in the number two position in the standings.
Steer Wrestling: Will Lummus and Tyler Waguespack
Will and Ty split the round win with clean 3.6 second runs in the eigth performance. This puts Ty in third place behind Stetson Jorgensen (1) and Will Lummus (2). Not a lot of movement for the top three, but the championship is going to be a close run with two more performances and the average left to go.
Team Roping: Coleman Proctor and Logan Medlin
Coleman and Logan take round eight with a 3.5 second run. This puts them in the number five position heading into the final rounds!
Tie Down Roping: Hunter Herrin
Hunter Herrin takes the round win tonight with a solid 7.2 second run. This puts him in the number five position spot! The leaders in tie down are Caleb Smidt (1), Shad Mayfield (2), John Douch (3), Kincade Henry (4).
Saddle Bronc Riding: Stetson Wright
Stetson came to win the saddle bronc riding last night with a 90.5 ride for the round 8 win. Stetson is right on the tail of Sage Newman in the number two spot. Depending on where he is in the average, he could snag the world championship but with two rounds left to go, only time will tell!
Barrel Racing: Leslie Smalygo
Leslie captured her first round win last night with a 13.41 second run, which is the fastest time we’ve seen so far this year.
Bull Riding: Ky Hamilton and Stetson Wright
